Summary: A new alkylation reaction of monosubstituted tetrazoles via the diazotization of aliphatic amines was reported in this study, allowing for preferential formation of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazoles. Additionally, a one-pot 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/diazotization sequence starting from widely available nitriles was described. The quenching of azide residues with nitrite reagent in the second step limited the intrinsic risk associated with trimethylsilyl azide and the reaction conditions were compatible with several functional groups.

Summary: This study describes a method for the synthesis of disubstituted tetrazoles from 1H-5-monosubstituted tetrazoles via the aliphatic amine diazotization reaction. The transient alkyl diazonium intermediate acts as an alkylating agent. Although the 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole is preferentially formed, the minor 1,5-disubstituted tetrazole can also be isolated in some cases. The regioselectivities are highly variable and cannot be solely attributed to steric hindrance.

Summary: Samarium (III) complex immobilized in MCM-41 was synthesized and characterized. The catalysts showed the attachment of 3,4,5-tri hydroxyphenyl acetic acid ligand and Sm ions to the MCM-41 host. These catalysts exhibited good performance in the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles through [3 + 2] cycloaddition with NaN3. The catalyst also showed excellent recyclability without significant loss of activity for up to six cycles.

Summary: 2H-azirine-2-carbonyl azides undergo rearrangement into derivatives of 2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)acetic acid when interacting with O- and S-nucleophiles at room temperature. The reaction is catalyzed by tertiary amines or hydrazoic acid. Different reactions occur when interacting with primary alcohols and phenols, leading to the formation of alkyl/aryl 2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)acetates. Additionally, thiophenols react with 2H-azirine-2-carbonyl azides to produce S-aryl 2-(1H-tetrazol-1yl)ethanethioates. The mechanism of these nucleophile-induced rearrangements is discussed based on DFT calculations, kinetic experiments, and N-15 labeling experiments.

Summary: Novel recyclable mesoporous-supported iron particles with and without ligands were developed for the synthesis of 5-substituted H-1-tetrazoles from aryl nitriles in water. Fe3+ species were identified as active sites, with the ligand-supported catalyst displaying better catalytic activity due to improved interaction with the support. The catalysts can be easily separated, recovered, and reused multiple times with consistent activity.

Summary: A series of bimetallic Fe/Cu mesostructured samples were synthesized using post-functionalization modification of MCM-41, resulting in MCM-41@Cu-Fe and MCM-41@Gln@Cu-Fe samples. A bimetallic mesostructured Fe-Cu/MCM-41 catalyst was also synthesized using the co-condensation method (Cu-Fe/MCM-41). The catalysts were characterized and their properties were investigated. The Cu-Fe/MCM-41 catalyst exhibited better catalytic activity in the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles compared to other catalysts.

Summary: An efficient and sustainable synthetic protocol for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole privileged heterocyclic substructures has been developed. The strategy involves a two-component reaction in water using L-lysine-palladium nanoparticles modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles as a magnetically separable, recyclable, and reusable catalyst, resulting in high yields of [2 + 3] cycloaddition with short reaction times. The use of water as a green solvent allows for a wide range of substrates to be utilized.

Summary: Immuno-PET is a powerful tool for studying the biodistribution of antibodies in vivo. This study used radiolabeled HuE71 IgG1 and IgG4 antibodies with the same variable heavy- and light-chain sequences but different Fc portions to investigate their in vivo biodistribution in SKOV3 ovarian cancer xenografted nude mice. The results highlight the influence of Fc modifications and the choice of IgG subclass on the biodistribution of antibodies.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health, with Gram-negative bacteria presenting unique challenges due to their low permeability and efflux pumps. Limited understanding of the chemical rules for overcoming these barriers hinders antibacterial drug discovery. Efforts to address this issue, such as screening compound libraries and using cheminformatic analysis, have led to the design of sulfamidoadenosines with diverse substituents, showing potential utility in accumulation in Escherichia coli.

Summary: This study successfully developed a short peptide mimetic as a MERS-CoV fusion inhibitor by reproducing the key recognition features of the HR2 helix. The resulting 23-mer lipopeptide showed comparable inhibitory effect to the 36-mer HR2 peptide HR2P-M2. This has important implications for developing short peptide-based antiviral agents to treat MERS-CoV infection.

Summary: Beta(2)-adrenergic receptor agonists can stimulate glucose uptake by skeletal muscle cells and are therefore potential treatments for type 2 diabetes. The chirality of compounds has a significant impact on the activity of these agonists. This study found that certain synthesized compounds showed higher glucose uptake activity. These findings provide important information for the design of novel beta(2)AR agonists for T2D treatment.
